Carondelet High School is seeking Science teachers who want to make a positive impact on the lives of students, especially young women, who in many STEM fields are underrepresented.

Science classes use an inquiry-based methodology and part of the future vision of the department is to create independent research coursework that will allow for personalized learning experiences for students during their junior and senior year.

We are seeking visionary teachers who will help implement our vision of becoming the leading high school in Northern California for a true interdisciplinary approach to teaching in the STEM fields.
